Giving back to the community has shaped my skills and enabled me to become a better Architect.

Volunteering through the OAA, CSA, & ULC committees provided me the opportunity to learn, share and make meaningful contributions.
This has inspired me to run for council. Together, we can strengthen our efforts to keep up with industry challenges and public demand, all while meeting the expectations of our profession and clients.
